So value wise we're talking around $15K for a nice looking low 13s car.

I suppose that's pretty good value right?

Can anyone think of better bang for your buck?

I think a stockish supra will run a 13s 1/4 but you're looking at what $20K for a decent one.

If you just want a car to run low 13's / high 12's then you can spend less on another make for $15k. You just don't get the overall package that a skyline offers.

Hmmm so for interests sake, what else could you get/mod for $15K that would do those times?

RX7, Soarer, maybe Galant VR4...?

ive managed 0 to 100 in 4.88 with good 255s and usual mods 172rwkw

You suck !

I managed 5.08 or something like that on the rev/speed/metre with 194rwkws.

wanted badly to crack the 5.00 but couldn't do it.

Now on 239rwkws, tried again.....time for a new clutch ! Haha :)

Sheeeeeet, good work though.

Just bought a 32 gtr with 250kw....i can change between 4wd/2wd so what will be quicker down the qtr mile???

Considering the GTR decides when 4/2wd is needed, i thought's be best to leave 4wd for sure!

So for take off it will be 4wd, then it will be 2wd drive later on anyway, decided by the car, not you. :)

ran my car at jambo, only had 2 runs, best being 12.8 @ 112. with 1.9 60ft

i cant see how im gona reach 116 mph? and 11s? if i get my 60fts down to say 1.7, is the rest just in quick gear changing?

also 2rismo if your still there, wat tyre presure do u recomend on et streets? and do they like big skids? also what did u find best revs to launch at?

i wana push my car to the best it will do, i no practice makes perfect but a little advise will help:)

What other mods?

An R33 with fuel pump, cooler, turbo back exhaust, button clutch and standard ECU making 205rwkw ran a 13.1 on street tires.

LTHLRB I think where his plates.

Depends on the driver, depends on your tires etc..

There are a million different variables that could effect that time.

Yep thats me :)

the mods were

Turbo back exhaust, GTR cooler, Turbosmart boost controller, Apexi pod, STOCK ENGINE MANAGMENT SYSTEM AND INJECTORS AND AFM, Tomeii fuel pump, Exedy clutch, $50 tyres i baught 2nd hand from a tyre joint to pass rwc, a very good driver, Tein suspension (drift suspension, So stiff ass end)

Any questions about me making 205rwkw just ask away :) its possible to make 200kw on stock ecu.. i have done it before

Car also went 1.9 60 footer and 105mph

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
